A good friend from my church men's club, sent me an e-mail with a link to a very rare documentary concerning the Japanese Surrender Ceremony in Tokyo Bay, in September 1945.
I was 12 years old and remember the end of the war in the Pacific, through photos, news reels etc. but nothing like this.
Gary my friend, I take the liberty of showing here THIS HISTORIC EVENT which you sent me. I am sure that even the readers who were too young to remember or were not even born at the time will appreciate it.
This is an actual film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japanese to MacArthur in Tokyo Bay in September, 1945. Actual voice of the General. Never been shown to the general public before. We always saw the "stills" but never the film itself. The quality of the film is outstanding.
If you are a history buff, you WILL enjoy it!!!
Just click the address below, or copy & paste, and you'll be there:

Este Documento é notável!
Não diz nada de novo, mas mostra imagens soberbas da História com definição fotográfica a fazer inveja aos filmes de tempos mais recentes.
Um exemplo a seguir pelos Documentaristas de hoje que parecem ter esquecido o modo de mostrar as notícias.
Gostei!

Obrigado pelo comentário. Estou de acordo,o documento não diz nada de novo, no entanto estou decidido a apostar que a maior parte da juventude de hoje e muitos das gerações dos ultimos 40 anos até infelizmente aqui mesmo nos EUA pouco sabem acerca da segunda guerra mundial.
Abraços,
George
